Preservation of Historical Structures and Land

The case for preservation – without knowing where we’ve been, we cannot know where we might be going. Copley has an abundance of local history which is worth preserving for future generations.

Land Conservancy

Copley continues to invest in environmentally sensitive lands which can be utilized by our residents. These lands are essential to ongoing storm water management efforts, increasing passive recreational opportunities and protecting wildlife habitat. The Township and its residents are able to accomplish such initiatives through ongoing partnerships with agencies including the University of Akron, the Summit County Land Bank and the Western Reserve Land Conservancy.

Century Home Inventory

Copley is rich in history with over 200 years of legacy. The two oldest known structures date back to 1830 with roots tied to the Underground Railroad. The preservation of these historical structures ensures that the legacy can be shared from one generation to the next.
